Premanand Maharaj Ji
How do I build self-discipline?
Take fixed rules
If we do not discipline our senses and mind and do not accept the binding of rules, we cannot reach bhaav (true devotional feeling). So do naam jap, scripture study and Thakur seva by rule. A power appears in a rule, and with that power we bring the senses and mind under control.
We should do naam jap by a rule, study the scriptures by a rule, and do Thakur seva by a rule. We must have some rules, and by the strength of those rules we discipline our senses and mind.
